Does anyone know any paints (like Testors) or paint codes available in small quantities to match the red, white and blue on a standard sign? It's a little too big to carry around to the store and I need to touch up my flames. Thanks

Remove just the Flame to have color matched.

I did think of that but didn't really want to mess with it. But if I did, does it detract from the value to replace the old original bolts with new stainless ones? Thanks

go to Home Deport or Menards or Lowes or something
pick up a bunch of the little cards for paint sample colors
take them home and match it up as best you can
when its 16-18 feet in the air or higher....close is probably good enough
just another option...

I wouldnt put new bolts on there if I could save the originals. Especially if they are square. Just dont bugger them all up. Original patina is hard to put back on. In the past I have made the mistake of over cleaning some stuff. Some stains and stuff looks good in the cracks and crevices.IMO
